Abstract: A safer, more comfortable and convenient enteral feeding system is disclosed. Features of the system include reversal of the male-female connections on a standard enteral feeding system, and a safety pressure relief on the male adapter of the feeding tube assembly. A double female-ended guide wire adapter enables accurate placement of the feeding tube in a patient with lubrication of the passage which is receiving the tube. The provision of male and female double-ended adapter tubes allows utilization of the invention with other standard feeding systems.
